Scott Mcavoy edited the blog post 3D Lidar Point Clouds of UC San Diego in the group
Digital Humanities: 1 week, 1 day agoI’ve been trying to figure out ways to 3D print a large scale campus map for a while now. We’ve got a sketchup file from an architect with decent quality building models, though a lot of data is lacking. Today I found out that the entire U.S. is mapped with lidar, and that data is available for free download online through the USGS. I’ve put some…[Read more]
